Hi,

thanks for confirming this bug in feisty. Yesterday, i decided to build
xen 3.1 packages from the vanilla source tarball. Indeed, i applied
patches, but only to better fit as a 3.0.3 replacement. (Pathes, conf
directives, etc.).
Currently one machine (some intel serverboard w/ Core2Duo's)
is running the 3.1 pae w/ original xen-image-2.6.19-4-server as domO.
One hvm domain just shows me a XP SP2 Installation via vnc ;)

I don't expect this packages as perfect, but i think bedeviled xen-
feisty users can brave this ;)

Greetings

Stephan
